Yes, the weight, the symbolic weight of doing, not just doing both those things, like the handball, which is the kind of the ugly side of football or the cheeky, you know, everything that's possible happened in those few minutes.

But the second goal as well, and it being against the English, that really...

carries more weight than it had been against Brazil or Uruguay, which would also have been legendary.

You mean in that moment?

Yeah, for sure.

I mean, Maradona is a very unique character and everything from...

The nightmare of drowning and his uncle pulling him out, which has been published several times over by the world's journalists, unlike anyone else's psychoanalyst sessions, to his incredible poverty, which is also common to most professional footballers in Argentina, if not the world.

He shares a lot of common points with most humans and certainly with a lot of little boys from what we think of as developing countries.

But he was obviously a genius.

And so he was...

On telly from a very young age, we all knew who he was.

We saw him playing keepy-uppy before matches as a child.

There's footage of him saying what his dream is and of his brother saying, I think maybe he comes from Mars.

I think he's a Martian.

from a very, very young age.

It's only when he starts playing semi-professionally as a sort of prepubescent kid that Dr. Kaye meets him and says, I think this child is malnourished.

So there's this extraordinary thing whereby we all watched him as a nation and in the world and delighted in him, but also didn't notice this kind of depravity and hunger that he came from.

And I think that is...

something that runs throughout his life.

So there's an anger in him and a sort of wanting to show everybody and prove them wrong, particularly the 86 squad, which was very questioned before the World Cup and had even, you know, the president of Argentina said maybe we should sack the manager.
